Thanks. I am not sure if this is what I am looking for. Recognizing BPM alone isn't really enough, as I also need a position where the first beat starts. bpm-tools can not do this, so it doesnt seem very useful. Also, I'd need to translate the BPM to relative speeds when changing playback speed of two tracks, so I'd still need to do manual calculations. I am really looking for a DJing tool that would work for command-line users. It doesnt have to have any real-time capabilities, but it should make mixing tracks as simple as possible, and allow to save the metadata required to play/render a full set. What I currently do is generate a shell script which calls out to SoX from a Python program. That works for just a few tracks, but gets very time consuming when the set gets longer, as SoX always needs to render the whole set from the beginning. So once my set ends up being 30 minutes long, I have to wait a considerable time to be able to listen to the end because it has to be rendered from the beginning each time. It would be nice to have some sort of player, which could be used to seek in the final mix, and be able to adjust things and get instant playback feedback. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
